MANCHESTER, Aug. 24-The Guardian com
mercial article says: Although the market
has presented generally firm appearance, the
tone has been quiet. Producers hoped that the
stronger condition of cotton on Monday would
stimulate buying but their expectations were
not fulfilled and the demand has been slow. The
reason for this is evident. Buyers have found
that, despite short crops Of cotton in the past
two or three years, the supply of cloth has al
ways been sufficient, and that efforts to raise
prices ON the strength'of reports of insufficient
crops have usually proved failure They are,
therefore, indisposed to take fright at reports
of small crops i'll the United States in view OF
the accounts received earlier in the season,
which reported the largest acreage ever known
and rarely equalled favorable seasons. The
market is more than ever dependent upon the
condition of the distributing centres. Yarn is
generally quiet. Exporters have placed few
orders. The home demand is poor. Buyers are
increasing in caution. Cloth is generally steady.
The inquiry for India is rather leSSanng than
increasing. Native dealers are reported some
what discouraged by the recent advance in ex-
change, fearing that it will be followed by de
cline in rupee prices There is little inquiry for
goods, China merchants having bought rather
freely. Better makes of shirtings and sheetings
are in moderate inquiry. For higher reeds OF
printing and other finishing cloths prices are
weaker Common and medium are steady; de-
mand is slow"

Green & Co.'S report on cotton futures says:
Trading has been generally somewhat slow in
cotton contracts to-day, without much feature
except an apparent indisposition to sell with
much freedom. and this has served TO make the
cost fractionally higher. The most decided
tirmness was on near options, over winch the
old feeling of nervousness still seems TO prevail
with shorts inclined to cover as they see sup
plies gradually disappearing through free spot
business Later months strengthened in SYM
pathy but found few buyers, as the afternoon
crop reports were more cheerful in character
and the South showed some inclination to SELL
though not crowding matters. Altogether the
minor feature was strength on september
which closed 5 points higher, and months be
yond points above last evening, with the tone
firm. Spots were in good demand and 1-16c
higher"
